References in product information to app_server_root, profile_root,
and other directories imply specific default directory locations.
This topic describes the conventions in use for WebSphere® Application
Server.
Default product locations (distributed)
The
following file paths are default locations. You can install the product
and other components or create profiles in any directory where you
have write access. Multiple installations of WebSphere Application
Server Network
Deployment products or components require multiple locations.
Default values for installation actions by root and nonroot users
are given. If no nonroot values are specified, then the default directory
values are applicable to both root and nonroot users.

the Application Client, and the IBM® HTTP
Server. All of these components are part of the product package.

on the target system. The following list shows the default installation
root directory for Version 8 of the GSKit, where product_root is
the root directory of the product that is installing GSKit, for example IBM HTTP
Server or the web server plug-in.
